Hi all! Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you all enjoy this song as much as I do =D I saw the show live and fell in love with the music! I'm so lucky to have seen it :) have any of y'all also seen the show?? If you have the time, head over to my channel! I'm a music production student and I upload original songs and self-produced music concepts such as k-pop or musical theatre! Thank you so much! Have a lovely day!
Vivian Minevamp It’s so clear when a musical belongs to the musical fandom. Like, I remember when BMC came out. My first reaction was ‘Hey, Hamilton, DEH, Heathers?... I’ll leave you to it.’ and I sat by to watch it progress. This belongs to the musical fandom, and it’s only a matter of time before we all know it.
So barret practically plays the same but opposite characters As Janis says she’d rather be her then be with them But Veronica would love to be like them rather than herself Edit: wow this comment was a year ago. please read this edit before you comment. My views on both mean girls and heathers have changed throughout this year, um I don’t agree with this past opinion of 12 year old me. Feel free to talk with me about theatre btw bc I’m a huge theatre kid
Veronica doesn't want to be them, she just wants their popularity so that they can leave her alone. Then she just gets stuck first with the Heathers, then with JD until she learns to stand up for herself and others
I get what you're saying but I look at it like this; Veronica is the before and Janis is the after. Veronica always craved the popularity and life of the Heathers, then she finally got it and enjoyed it for a while. Then after the shit with JD went down, she wanted to give up that life (which would explain her behaviour at the end of the movie, and maybe the musical I haven't seen any boots, and the line '...where people died...' hintingat Kurt, Ram, and Chandler). And now here she is, seeing everything again with The Plastics and she's like 'screw that mess, let's not do that again.' And sees Cady making the same mistake she made. And yeah, I could be off but that's how I view it
Trace Greenwood yeah I see it like that. I completely forgot this comment existed and I’m probably gonna remove it or at least edit it bc like people are probably gonna say things- but ye this was a year ago and ye. Have a good day/night
I hate to say it but I like the solo not clean version Barrett did on Jimmy Fallon where she actually raises the middle finger and instead everybody she says ever asshole
Favorite line: "I don't need there good opinions. I have plenty of opinions. Everybody has opinions but it doesn't make them true." Really a motto of mine. I love being liked but I don't have time for people trying to drag me down or make me change myself to suit them.
Hey Veronica, is that for the Heathers? (If ever Veronica sang this to the Heathers I salute her. Also, this should have been the end song for Veronica to Heather D.)
yeemo trash. No. I meant this is what Veronica would be like if she had more control over her life and wasn’t trying to make sure everyone lived all the time
“So your best friend screwed you over. Acted nice when she “not nice” Well I have some advice. Cause it happened to me twice!” It honestly has happened to me TWICE.
Fav moments (no order): "So raise them high because being nice and shy is insulting my IQ" "Acted nice when she not nice" "Raise your right finger to how girls should behave" "So I will not act all innocent" "I wont fake apologize" "Lets just fight and make up, not tell these lies" "I'd rather be me" Most importantly, I love this song and Barrett was amazing in heathers so I'm happy she got this role because I am obsessed with her voice from heathers and It's even better in this.
*I so needed this. I just started in a new high school and the girls I hang with (Who are kind of the plastics) ignore me and use me and there are no other potential friends. I guess I'll be on my own now.* (Edited) I told some people I was in a clique now, but now I'm a loner again. Explains the kind people congratulating me.
I'm sorry, but I will now see Heathers as a prequel to Mean Girls; Veronica got a name change to hide from her reputation (and the cops) and then became Janis!
Mbunnyj I’m not saying this isn’t a great idea and I don’t think it’d be perfect but Mean Girls happens way later just based off technology and slang alone and even if it didn’t Veronica was in her senior year so she wouldn’t be going through high school again.
Nana Love That actually could work. In Dead Girl Walking the pill didn’t work and Veronica ended up pregnant. She couldn’t keep the baby cause she was too young and it would remind her of the heartbreak of losing her first love. So she put it up for adoption and her daughter ended up getting adopted by the Sarkisian’s and grew up there. If the events of Mean Girls takes place during her senior year then they would take place in 2007 which I think is a good year since the movie was in 2004 and they made the date of Heathers later than the movie by a couple years as well. And since Janis is a perfect mix of JD and Veronica it makes perfect sense that she thinks the way she does. It also might make sense why she says “where people died” in Cautionary Tale because she would’ve known she was adopted by then and might have met her birth mother and might’ve been told the story of how her father died and when retelling her own story realized how similar it was to her mother’s so she referenced it. And you can decide whether Veronica knew she was pregnant before JD died and since the events of Heathers all took place during like a couple months maybe even just one it would explain why she wouldn’t be showing much. And if she did know in terms of her not talking about it I highly doubt she would tell JD out of fear and the school would make fun of her if she let the news out to anyone so she just didn’t talk about it until after everything cleared up.
Ok theory: Janice is the daughter of JD and Veronica, Veronica could have gotten pregnant after dead girl walking, I mean Janice looks exactly like veronica and her ideals are similar to JD, except less extreme, JD clearly states that he doesn't like the Heather's and wants to kill them and kills Chandler and then gets mad at Veronica for helping Macnamara and then suggests killing Duke, Janice clearly states she doesn't like the plastics and she tries to ruin them. If you really think about it, Janice and JD aren't that different, JD manipulates Veronica into believing that this is the right thing, and he makes her help him cover up his murders, while Janice manipulates Cady into helping her get rid of the plastics. Litterally the timing lines up Heather's takes place in 1989 and mean girls takes place in 2004 so Janice would be around 16 years old. And now before y'all come at me with the "But Veronica said that shes on the pill", 9 out of 100 woman using birth control get pregnant so its perfectly plausible that she could have gotten pregnant and hoenstly she was in high school, if she was a vergin before there would have been no reason for her to be taking birth control especially since this is something she just did one night Cuz she was pissed and its likely she could have lied about it just to get JD to do it. Also this isnt very big but JD's full name is Jason Dean, Janice sounds a whole lot like Jason, it's possible that Veronica could have named her after him because at the end it still seemed like she loved him even after everything he did, because when he's holding the bomb she says "say hi to god", she still believed he was a good person even after everything. But hey, that's just a theory, a musical theory!
My top 10 favorite lines from this song, in no particular order: (not including the title of the song, which is a great message in and of itself) "So raise them high, 'cause playing nice and shy is insulting my IQ."

"I won't twist in knots to join your game, I will say you make me mad." "And if I eat alone from this moment on? That's just what I'll do." "I don't need their good opinions, I have plenty of opinions."
So your best friend screwed you over Acted nice when she's not nice Well, I have some advice ‘Cause it's happened to me.

And those sycophants who follow you I'll remember all their names And when they drag you down Like they inevitably do I will not laugh along with them and approve their palace coup, ‘cause that's not me Janis. Janis. Janis. Janis I don't need their good opinions I have plenty of opinions Everybody has opinions but it doesn't make them true What's true is being me And I'd rather be me I'd rather be me than be with you. So raise them high ‘cause playing nice and shy is insulting my IQ Yeah. Yeah. Yeah I'd Rather Be Me I'd Rather Be Me I'd Rather Be Me than be with you! I'd Rather Be Me I'd Rather Be Me I'd Rather Be Me than be with you!
For my entire freshman year in high school I sat with this group of people I barely knew. I never really said anything during lunch, and I remember wishing class would drag on longer so I don't have to go to lunch with them. My sophomore year I got so sick of being quiet around them, so I just went off and sat alone at lunch everyday chilling, listening to music, doing homework, watching shows etc. It was great. So yeah, I would rather be me than be with you. 😊
Ok we have a lot of song about strong female characters (and it's awesome, if you ask me!) but I wait for songs, not even included in musicals, about boys who aren't masculine and that they have a right to cry and have feelings.
I definitely do! I also love that in that performance how big she embodied Janis, and also oh god her giving the middle finger on live TV love it. and instead of everybody has opinions she said every asshole has opinions which I feel is so much better (and more Janis)!

Who like this song ? I did like this song
And if I eat alone from this moment on that’s just what I’ll do
Damien: am I joke to you
“guess i’ll die”
I love the fact that the female students are joining in later on in the song, sort of idolising janis because of how strong she was being in the song
I can't wait until people start making animatics of this musical.

I love this song so much, it’s so inspiring and funny, and it’s a real bop at the same time.
So barret practically plays the same but opposite characters
As Janis says she’d rather be her then be with them
But Veronica would love to be like them rather than herself

The girl who plays Janis is also Veronica from Heathers, right?
Kerida Quinata yep if you take a look in the comments it should be obvious
Yup, that explains all the Heathers references in the comments section :)
This song is actually helping me through a lot of things right now so wow thanks Mean Girls & BWW
My favourite part is when Janice say, ''So raise them high, cause playing nice and shy is insulting my IQ!''
Yeah, just got rid of some toxic friends & that’s my bio :)
Favorite line: "I don't need there good opinions. I have plenty of opinions. Everybody has opinions but it doesn't make them true."
Really a motto of mine. I love being liked but I don't have time for people trying to drag me down or make me change myself to suit them.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU
My top 10 favorite lines from this song, in no particular order: (not including the title of the song, which is a great message in and of itself)
"So raise them high, 'cause playing nice and shy is insulting my IQ."
"Here's my right finger to how girls 'should behave'."
"Every asshole has opinions, but it doesn't make them true."
"The world doesn't end, it just feels like it does."
"Whatever they say about me, I don't care."
"I will not act all innocent, I won't fake apologize."
"We always understand how to slap someone down with our underhand."
"I won't twist in knots to join your game, I will say you make me mad."
"And if I eat alone from this moment on? That's just what I'll do."
"I don't need their good opinions, I have plenty of opinions."
Fav line:cuz sometimes what’s meant hurt you makes you brave
2:playing nice and shy is insulting my IQ
So your best friend screwed you over
Acted nice when she's not nice
Well, I have some advice
‘Cause it's happened to me. Twice
Here's my secret strategy
It always works because
The world doesn't end
It just feels like it does
So raise your right finger
And solemnly swear
"Whatever they say about me
I don't care!"
I won't twist in knots to join your game
I will say, "you make me mad."
And if you treat me bad
I'll say "you're bad"
And if I eat alone from this moment on
That's just what I'll do
‘Cause I'd rather be me, I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me than be with you
We're supposed to all be ladies
And be nurturing and care
Is that really fair?
Boys get to fight, we have to share
Here's the way that turns out
We always understand
How to slap someone down
With our underhand
So here's my right finger
To how girls should behave
'Cause sometimes what's meant to break you
Makes you brave
So I will not act all innocent
I won't fake apologize
Let's just fight and then make up
Not tell these lies
Let's call our damage even
Clean the slate till it's like new
It's a new life for me
Where I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me
Than be with you
I'll say, "NO!"
NO!
I'll say, "knock it off,
with your notes and your rules and your games."
And those sycophants who follow you
I'll remember all their names
And when they drag you down
Like they inevitably do
I will not laugh along with them and
approve their palace coup, ‘cause that's not me
Janis. Janis. Janis. Janis
I don't need their good opinions
I have plenty of opinions
Everybody has opinions but it doesn't make them true
What's true is being me
And I'd rather be me
I'd rather be me than be with you.
So raise them high ‘cause playing nice and shy is insulting my IQ

I'd Rather Be Me than be with you!
The lyrics r on the screen u wasted 30 minutes of ur time
It's... a lyric video. 😀
You go veronica... i mean janis
Why does Janis sound like Veronica?
bro you’re joking
@@V1B3SFORKHL0E No I'm not, listen to her
@@elieldredge it’s the same actor dawg
They're both played by the same actress 😭
0:9 is like the best part of the song
Everyone is talking aboit veronica from heathers
and im just sitting here awkwardly like " i is veronica. literally. its my name."
For my entire freshman year in high school I sat with this group of people I barely knew. I never really said anything during lunch, and I remember wishing class would drag on longer so I don't have to go to lunch with them.
My sophomore year I got so sick of being quiet around them, so I just went off and sat alone at lunch everyday chilling, listening to music, doing homework, watching shows etc. It was great.
So yeah, I would rather be me than be with you. 😊
*Smacks Lips* good job Veronica......
Ok we have a lot of song about strong female characters (and it's awesome, if you ask me!) but I wait for songs, not even included in musicals, about boys who aren't masculine and that they have a right to cry and have feelings.
Be more Chill is the musical
But seriously, Be More Chill is *the* musical.
She's the dove that sings outside my window.
A few words to say.......
JANIS JANIS JANIS JANIS

SHE SAID "I'LL SAY NO" 😱😱😱😱
Veronica really tryna break free huh
is it just me that likes her performance of this on jimmy fallon better than this??
I definitely do! I also love that in that performance how big she embodied Janis, and also oh god her giving the middle finger on live TV love it. and instead of everybody has opinions she said every asshole has opinions which I feel is so much better (and more Janis)!
@@jerihill4739 Yeah I hate how they changed the lyric for the soundtrack :/
@@jerihill4739 ikr!

She said clean the slate... That's what jd does in Heather's!!
sorry to be annoying but can we leave Heathers out of this?? yes she played Veronica too but can’t we have Mean Girls instead of Heathers?
Ffs, like, I don't mind a couple references but the entire comment section is literally only filled with them.
Is this Alto?
Does Ms. Weed know she's the greatest spokeswoman this generation could ever ask for?
Veronica Sawyer is back at it again
Awesome 😎
